@xerge @petergleick You ever seen that dude, usually in a giant truck, who drives on the shoulder to get to the front of a slow line of traffic and get to an exit sooner? That guy?
He thinks we'd do it too if we were as smart as him--we'd all do it if we were as smart as him. He gets to go to the front of the line because he's smarter than the rest of us waiting in traffic. That's what he thinks.
But really, it's just because no one has ever punched him in the face for being a total asshole.
@clonedhuman @petergleick perhaps the US justice system will one day be able to punch Don the Con in the face, but I'm not holding my breath.

The oil companies.@petergleick Gasoline prices will not go down once they go up. Oil companies are finding out how much they can get away with once everyone's standards have been lowered, just like every other time the price has gone up.

@Npars01 @petergleick I like your referencing. Without any at hand, I wonder, does a price increase of fossils bear any positive effect? Where is the long-term profit?
The windfall profits to the fossil fuel industry is estimated at $30 million an hour for the war on Iran.
The personal profits to GOP donor, Ron Lauder, for the Ukraine minerals shakedown is unknown.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/world/europe/trump-lauder-ukraine-lithium.htmlThe personal profit to Paul Singer & John Addison for the Venezuelan oil attack is unknown because it's laundered through Qatar.

The oil companies.Hint:
Communism = too little is never too little
Capitalism = too much is never too much
Democratic Socialism = YOU.. a RANGE/SCALE in the MIDDLE of extremes, like birth~death.
The math of physics doesn't have to be all that difficult, all the time. Your children don't have to be brainwashed into single solve mindsets, making them subservient to the abusers who know how to 'keep you/yours in range', by oppressing/suppressing to minimal returns, while giving more and more.
REPLACE ABUSIVE POWER WITH ETHICAL SCIENTISTS

The oil companies.@petergleick you're telling me these companies are raising these prices above what they need to cover the increased costs due to the war and the strait being closed? who would do that? charge more just because they can?

Well nobody ever punched him correctly with the heel of their flat open hand to knock his nose back into his stupid brain and turn it off.

The oil companies.@petergleick Let's be fair, in the final results the winner of Iran war is [or will be] Iran.
No American on either side of the political aisle will ever be able to deal with that, so for the Left oil companies and their American investors won; for the Right America [somehow] won because the orange baboon says so.

I don't fully agree with that.
Maybe IRI is looking like a winner, but the blockade is crushing Iranian economy badly.
The rial have reached it's lowest level in history down to 1.9M rial to a dollar, a 50% loss in 6 months.
Prices are increasing daily, it's so bad that restaurants purchase their items at night or evening because they know the price will be higher the next day.
For US, the government is enjoying the massive increase of arms sale as well as massive increase in export of oil.
And Europe, China and Asia are suffering, which is working great for the US long term plans.
Another month of blockade will hurt people in Iran extremely bad so with Europe and Persian Gulf countries.
And of course tRump and his criminal gang are making ridiculous amount of money manipulating the market and gambling when the orange shitler plays the market by his shit posts.
2 months, if we can handle it, will collapse Iran into mass protests and infighting for survival.
